The Literacy Council
of Prince George's County empowers adult learners to
realize their full potential as contributing members
of their families and communities by providing

comprehensive program includes the following: one-on-one tutoring, computer-assisted learning,
GED classes, Pre-GED classes, Basic Reading and
Literacy classes, ESOL classes and an External
Diploma Program. We are able to offer classes
and tutoring services without charge because of the

corporate and government funding. The Literacy Council Front Desk is covered from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Mondays to Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
